Daniel Johns & Luke Steele Claim They Were So High They Buried Demos Near Windsor Castle

Some of DREAMS' first-ever recordings are buried in a graveyard somewhere near Windsor Castle, Daniel Johns & Luke Steele have revealed.

In an interview with SBS's The Feed last night, the pair shared the story when asked what advice they would give their younger Silverchair and The Sleepy Jackson selves.

Initially sharing that they were probably too dramatic in their youth, they then went on to share where some of their recordings ended up….

"It was dramatic," laughed Johns.

"We would record in like Windsor, next to Windsor Castle and then you know, we were so high that then I'd say to Dan, 'Make sure you bury all of the songs next to the castle," so he buries all of our demos in a box…'" said Steele.

"They're all buried and then I couldn't find them," Johns added.

"In a graveyard, next to Windsor Castle," continued Steele, chuckling.

"But that's serious, stuff like that when we were younger, it was like everything was so enormous and we were so protective of what we were doing, there's literally like eight demos burnt on a CD buried somewhere in the cemetery and I can't remember where," finished Johns.
